My 17-year-old son is in the hospital for depression......

I'm so sorry to hear about your son. I'll be sending good thoughts.

My sister is Bi-Polar and I am Bi-Polar II. Recently my regular doctor assessed Amy Beth and feels that she is Bi-Polar as well. I hope and pray that after we get through all of this court mess, that she can also get the help she needs medically /mentally. I think it is a huge source of her problems, as it seems to be with your dear son!

My prayers are with you and your family during your difficult times as well!

Thanks again for all your prayers and emotional support. I haven't heard anything at all from the hospital yesterday or today. I called them two days ago and he was still doing about the same. He still wouldn't talk to me, though. I will call tomorrow again to find out how he's doing, and if he wants to talk to me. We will visit him on Monday (Christmas Day) whether he wants us to or not. We may go visit him on Saturday as well. My heart is breaking over all of this. I just don't know what else we could have done. He needs help, and we did what we had to do by taking him to the hospital when we did.

YES, you certainly DID do the RIGHT THING by taking him to the hospital! He will get the right combination of meds and feel so much better! It may take some time to find the right mix of what works for him, but when they do, it will make a huge difference in his whole outlook on his life!

HUGS,

I called the hospital tonight, and he finally came to the phone to talk to me. He told me they had to call a "code gray" on him. I asked him what that meant, and he said he refused to go to his room when he was supposed to, so they called a "code gray" and a bunch of people came in and he ended up being sent to a "quiet room" for awhile. I asked him why he had refused to go to his room, and he said it was because he didn't want to go. I told him that he needs to follow the rules and instructions, and start talking to them about what he's thinking and feeling. He told me he didn't like my attitude, and hung up on me!

I am hurt by his words and actions, but also somewhat angered. It makes it easier to have him there. He needs help. PLEASE continue to keep him in your prayers! He needs all the prayers he can get right now, and so do the doctors and people working with him, so they can figure out what's going on with him and how best to help him!

Thanks.
